Okay....lets say I get a standard foot controller that would normally 
be used via midi to control rackmount guitar effects....
Like this cheap one (hate behringer, but if it does the job?):

ontroller_FCB1010.html
I'm not bothered about bank switching etc....as I'd only use one 
pattern/preset per song....
Could I use this to trigger preset notes....and maybe programme the 2 
footpedals to alter other perameters (volume/pot controls) in a live 
situation....

The reason for wanting to do this as opposed to sequencing a song is 
that I can stay in time with a live drummer and the whole thing 
becomes more dynamic sounding set-up....

Does this make sense?

that has a MIDI jack, not a 1/4" jack), then you'd be at the whim of 
whatever pedal you have allows you to transmit.
